Our Story

ClickMedix is a global mobile health (mHealth) social enterprise founded by faculty and students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Carnegie Mellon University to increase capacity of physicians and health organizations to serve more patients. By enabling existing medical experts to serve more patients, we can address the following global healthcare challenges:

• Lack of access: Patients cannot easily reach doctors.
• Lack of funds: Patients cannot afford the high cost of healthcare, and governments/NGOs are unable to subsidize under-served populations entirely
• Lack of medical resources: Most countries face severe shortages of trained healthcare professionals, especially medical specialists, to perform adequate diagnosis and quality treatment in rural areas.

Our Mission is to bring affordable and quality health services to under-served patients, by enabling physicians to reach more patients through mobile phone/tablet facilitated remote diagnosis, as well as remote training and supervision of their staff assistants, nurses, and health workers. ClickMedix has been used worldwide to reduce wait time for patients from months to less than 72 hours, allow physicians to serve 4-15 times more patients, as well as create more skilled work force and new jobs for community-based and home-based healthcare services.

We are world-class medical professionals, public health practitioners, technologists, development activists, entrepreneurs, and business strategists to bring new dimensions to addressing these challenges using mobile phones. As mobile phone coverage extends to all corners of the world, mobile-phone based health services are becoming increasingly ubiquitous for connecting different layers of the public health infrastructure, enabling real-time collection of health data and remote diagnosis of patients by medical experts.

Our innovative mobile health (mHealth) platform connects health service providers, reduces cost of service delivery, and optimally utilizes tiers of existing health system for patient care. A community health-worker or a clinic nurse with a Click-enabled mobile phone is able to act as the primary agent for service delivery, as she is connected to the mHealth platform and the entire health system.

Our mHealth platform is comprised of modules for:

• Medical services (primary care triage, risk-screening and tele-consultation),
• Patient management (electronic medical record, referral service and emergency response),
• Administrations and planning (mobile accounting, remote monitoring, real-time data collection), and
• Purchasing (mPayment) and financing (micro-insurance) of healthcare services

Dr. Andrew Pumerantz, Vice Chairman, Medical Advisory Board

Dr. Pumerantz is Chief of Infectious Disease, Associate Professor of Internal Medicine, and Assistant Provost for Strategic Initiatives at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California. He has more than 25 years of experience spanning a spectrum of patient care, medical education, and research that focused in large part on the infectious complications of diabetes. Dr. Pumerantz became alarmed by the realization that in spite of ongoing advances in biomedical research and drug development, successful diabetes management remained elusive. He looked at a prevailing care delivery system characterized by fragmentation and non-integration that paid more attention to the treatment of disease than to the achievement and maintenance of health. In addressing the need to redefine health care delivery in the face of exponentially growing diabetes pandemic, Dr. Pumerantz founded, and is Executive Director of the Western Diabetes Institute (WDI). The WDI is an integrated, cross-disciplinary practice and research unit organized around diabetes, associated heart disease, and other co-morbidities, wherein people with diabetes can obtain a comprehensive evaluation that assesses the complexity and severity of their condition in a single visit and helps to deliver more precise, personalized, and team-based care across the total cycle. Dr. Pumerantz developed a novel composite schema, the “Diabetes Cross-Disciplinary Index©”, to serve as a balanced scorecard and lingua franca that promote shared decision-making aligned with the patient’s health goals. The WDI manages a research registry that enables measurement of outcomes and the costs of delivering those outcomes to patients. WDI is piloting their innovative diabetes care model with California’s largest managed Medi-Cal (Medicaid) health plan and using ClickMedix as its digital healthcare platform.

Dr. Pumerantz holds an AB from Occidental College in Los Angeles, and a DO from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. He trained in internal medicine at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City where he also served as a Chief Medical Resident. In 1995, Dr. Pumerantz completed infectious diseases fellowship at Yale School of Medicine. Dr. Pumerantz is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians.
